I've taken pictures the last few times I've come upon a baby mess. And by 'baby' I don't mean small...I mean 'made by a baby'...

This was how I found out that Izzy could open cupboards...I ran downstairs to get something out of the freezer and heard a crash. She pulled out a jar of nacho cheese and threw it at the tile. Then she played in it. How she didn't cut her hand, I'll never know.

This is the girls' favorite past time. Can you blame them though? Who would play with the toys when there's a cupboard full of diapers nearby...

Or drawers full of chopsticks, towels, and cookie cutters...

**notice how saggy the drawer is...it didn't take them long to realize that an empty drawer makes a great place to sit...

And this is how I found out that she could reach what was on the table...

And THIS is what my typical evening looks like. I always laugh when people ask me how I do 'it all'. I think it's funny that they think I do it all. I don't. Here's proof--I'm allowing you a glimpse into what my home looks like every night. Actually, this was a tame night...it's usually worse.

This is the mess after dinner. I admit, sometimes I leave it like this until the morning. I'm exhausted by 7:00pm...

Laundry on the couch, the babies locked in the cage, toys everywhere...and the TV on.

My plan for Halloween was a farm theme (actually my friend Whitney suggested it) but the older girls had other plans. We ended up with Cleopatra and a gypsy on our farm.

We waited until the end of the night to get a picture...big mistake. Oh, and you may have noticed that Jake is wearing eyeliner. He dressed up Goth for work...and forgot to take off his makeup. He looked a little...well....not straight.

About Me

I am a full time, stay at home mom. Well kind of...between dance classes, soccer, doctor visits, shopping and volunteering at school...I rarely 'stay at home'. I'm married to a great guy, and together we have 5 kids. The last 3 were born in under 2 years. We're happy...and exhausted.
